The idea of the Mary Sue in fan fiction has become such a stereotype
that, although such characters really do exist (I've even known one in
an audio drama!), they are an object of such ridiculosity (words fail
me!) that the terrible plot becomes funny in itself. Kevin Bolk and Clare Moseley have decided to
have a little fun with the idea with a web comic series entitled...

Kevin (who does the art) and Clare (who plots the storyline and does
the scripting with Kevin) shared a table in the Artist's Alley at Wizard World
Philadelphia last weekend at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. I
particularly like the way he has lampooned the cast of the new movie,
the Spock's in episode 1, Chris Pine's Cpt Kirk in number two & four and Chekov in episode five! Checkout the series on DeviantArt, HERE.

Celebrated 25 years of marriage to She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed. My best friend and still the sexiest women alive.

Started a thread on TrekUnited giving a blow-by-blow description of my attempts to re-awaken my latent graphic arts abilities. Being the lazy, uh I mean, efficient man that I am, you might find some short-cuts in there that might be of use to you.

Commenced in August 2006 , Star Trek: Specter is a movie length,
fan-made animation - not a machinima! - which could well give Star Trek:
Aurora a run for its money as the animation of the year for 2010! The
sheer scope of this work - 20 scenes released so far and still going! -
is absolutely mind-boggling! This playlist puts the scenes into order
and for details - beware spoilers! - you can checkout the exhaustive
entry on the Star Trek Expanded Universe Wiki

The first issue of Acrux for this year is shaping up nicely but it is taking longer because its bigger - MUCH bigger - than normal. Got some great submissions too!

TrekUnited has changed hands and the new management looks like continuing the site in the spirit that it has always been - unbiased, flame-retardant and fan-friendly. As Director of Media I understand that the audio and video centers which have been down for a while are to be resurrected.
